Making your education current and relevant

The entire University has recently undergone a curriculum review to ensure that all modules are relevant and up to date. This means that every module you study has been incorporated in your course to provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to boost your employability.

How will I learn?

You will learn through a stimulating blend of:

  • project work
  • simulations
  • debates
  • company projects
  • consultancy reports
  • skills portfolios.

During your placement, you will tackle a particular business issue within your organisation, supported by web-based resources. You will also come back to the University on nine separate days to talk through your experience.

Contact time

On average you will receive 12 - 15 hours of teaching per week from a combination of lectures and seminars. You will then be expected to increase your understanding of the subject area through independent study for each module.

Throughout the three years of your course the scheduled contact hours you receive will gradually decrease as you develop the skills required to undertake independent study and the research project in your final year. This will still remain at approximately 12 hours a week though and during this time you will still have regular contact with your tutors.

Additional to this, you will also have further time-tabled contact time for your induction, at the beginning of the year and sessions on employability and opportunities that you can get involved with whilst at university.

Personal tutor sessions

You will also have a number of one on one tutor sessions during each year, which will allow you to:

  • Discuss and gain feedback about your work.
  • Ask questions about the projects you're working on.
  • Raise any difficulties you are experiencing relating to your work, personal circumstances or your university experience.

This support will also be available whilst you are on placement in your second year.

Who will I study with?

This course has an attentive, close-knit feel, with all students sharing the same passion for the world of business and management. Your first and third year lectures will be delivered with students from other business degrees, meaning you get a real taste for all aspects of management. However seminars will be delivered to students just taking BA (Hons) Management (approximately 20), making the teaching sessions more personal.

Where will I study?

All students will attend lectures and seminars at NTU’s City site, in the impressive Newton Building, home to Nottingham Business School.

Virtual learning environment

You will also use our virtual learning environment, NOW which is a flexible web-based system that allows you to have 24-hour access to module learning materials and reading lists. It allows you to discuss work with tutors and other students, and submit coursework electronically from anywhere in the world.

Learning from industry experts

Our dedicated tutors have industry experience in their specialist field, which means you will gain practical insight into these fields and how companies are run.

"The course leader has always been extremely supportive. During the placement period, tutors were available out of office hours to discuss queries and work surrounding the course."

Gemma Baker BA (Hons) Management.

How will I be assessed?

Examples of assessment include:

  • written examinations
  • evidence-based portfolios
  • individual and group coursework and presentations
  • research projects.

During the placement year assessments will include work based projects that will benefit the student and placement company. Unlike four-year sandwich degrees, the assessment of the placement year accounts for 25% of a student’s final year degree classification.

In response to student feedback the university have introduced a policy that ensures you receive feedback on assessment within three weeks of submission.
